Audio Technica ATH-M50 Monitor Headphones

xone xd-53...it really is the best headphone for electronic music...way more bass and way better quality than any of the sonys

thanks for all the feed back i have had sony extra bass xb700 i did not like the size im thinking of downgrading to 500's or 300's
i also tried philips "the snug" there good but did not like how they fit
i think i might just go with sony extra bass xb 300's or 500's
again thanks for all the feed back

I've heard nothing but bad things about bose. Some good brands to look for are AKG, sony, sennheiser, grado and audio-technica

i used to work for bose, i got to test drive their full range of headphones at the time and i can honestly say that they're a rip-off and they sound like shit.

Yeah I've heard nothing but bad aswell,
I went into there westfield store and asked why they didnt show frequency range and got 'because frequency range isnt important in headphones....'
New then and there they were a pile of shit

I love my HD 485's, affordable, beautiful sound, and they are the most comfortable ive ever worn:


Lead is a little long for general listening but you can replaace that easily for no more than a fiver.

I wanna try ther £1000 headphones though

for all yall out there i just want to let you know i got the sony extra bass xb300's
there ok but not amazing so im gana move up to 500's

For production I use Shure SRH-840's but for listening (and sometimes production, depending on how you like to monitor your tracks) Ultrasone headphones are beasts and are very well known for their bass response and fidelity as well.

I just bought a pair of Bose AE2... They are great for classical / jazz music, but besides that I think I would have done better with some Sennheiser or Grados Headphones. I had a giftcard, but I am thinking about returning them to get another pair.

i got shure srh 440's

bump.

but this time i am going to specify my price range. which is up to 70
no more $300 headphone recommendations

I see this debate in the same light as someone asking what kind of decks to buy......Sennheiser HD25 MK2 are the Technics 1210's of headphones.... Best £145 i've ever spent.... they're comfortable, nice snug size and the sound quality is 2nd to none. You might not want to produce or even DJ at this stage but these headphones are built to last and are brilliant for use as listening headphones too.

For listening headphones, definitely in-ears. Cheap, good bass, and decent durability (usually). Most in-ears should be decent. Brands can be deceiving. I've owned cheap NZ$15 discount store in-ears which sounded better than my Beats by Dre in-ears.

not a surprise lul

Are you not happy with the XB500s?

I have a pair of these that I picked up in NYC, they are pretty decent for the money I guess: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Eskuche-33-Ear- ... 186&sr=8-4

If you want to go the in-ear route (and it might not be a bad idea), then maybe these? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-S4i-Hea ... 421&sr=1-5

This.

I'm going to get torn apart for this, but honestly, for cheap, in-ear headphones, the JVC Marshmallows are a good buy. The bass is surprisingly strong and you can always Kramer mod them.

i loved them but they broke very soon after i got them and i have broken 3 pairs in the last year so in really thinking about (already have them) the stretch by philips i like them but i might return them and so i am looking for other pairs to maybe get instead
thanks for the responce

The JVC headphones are pretty good. Good bass response as you say

I use 'em for the everyday commute

My HD25 cable keeps breaking on me probably due to using them out and about, getting bored of forking out for a new cable on the reg so i need some headphones (preferably not in ear) that are fairly small/look good. Price range up to £100. Hit me.
EDIT: Its just my mixer this time, my cable is fine. Scratch above post.

Just. BEATS.

what the hell is a "kramer mod"?? lol

also, Sennheiser HD215 ftw! in your price range, cheap loud and good frequency response!
